  PICOS MOUNTAIN BIKE CYCLING HOLIDAY

  

  Written July 2009

  A brilliant holiday in a beautiful region of Spain with great cycling off the beaten track.  The hotel is family run with really friendly staff; Clean, comfy rooms and plenty of tasty food in the evenings plus a well stocked bar - what more could you want?  Jim's local knowledge meant the cycling was along tracks where we hardly saw another person let alone other cyclists.  The landrover support was fab and meant we didn't have to carry everything for the day as we could put another bag in the back and, on those odd occasions when the incline was a little too steep, there was never a problem with hitching a lift!  We were incredibly lucky with the weather but on the one day a storm might have affected things, Jim and Jules were on to it straight away and swapped the last two days so we still got to ride everything.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Riding down the 'Lomo del Toro' on the last day - endless descent, awesome views and some truly breathtaking moments en route. 

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Jules was a brilliant leader - very friendly, fun and kept us all safe.  He kept me going when I was struggling and really added to the enjoyment of the holiday.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Take a good windproof top - some of the rides start high up in the mountains and the ride down can be chilly!

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Can i come back and do it all again?!

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  The final day down the Bull's Back - couldn't believe there could be so much down hill - and then more! It was pretty scary at times but stunning scenery and hidden villages, great lunch  and a great group of people - just a perfect day

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Great - Jim owned the hotel we stayed in so was very knowledgeable about the local area - and put this to really good use - took us to some great mountain biking areas that we'd never have found if we'd travelled independently. Jules was our cycling guide and was very good - relaxed, not a speed merchant but very encouraging and good fun.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  If you're not too confident on technical downhills get a bit of practice before you go - you will enjoy it much more - then book it - it's a fantastic trip to a wonderful area

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Best mountain biking trip I've done - go for it!
